Twenty four arrested in Durham Region drug sweep

Handcuffs

DURHAM -- A months-long drug investigation by Durham police culminated Tuesday morning with the execution of numerous search warrants and the arrest of 24 suspects.

Officers seized cocaine, hashish and marijuana valued at $270,000 as well as eight guns, two prohibited weapons, and $100,000 in cash, police said. Also seized were nine vehicles, a trailer and a boat.

Project Bermuda was launched in February after cops seized weapons and drugs in an Oshawa residence. The investigation, which targeted street-level dealers in the region, expanded over time, police said.
